On a TDI, because of its build, the fuel tank and the tank for AddBlue, there's no space for a double side exhaust. If you want real exhaust on both sides you need to configure a benzine.
So glad I bought the 2017 petrol model. 4 real exhaust pipes and ‘Pops and bangs’ before the EU emissions police killed off the fun and drama. Lucky escape. TBH I wouldn’t have bought the S5 in its current boring diesel guise.
Thanks for the review Wize, awesome job ! I know you’re dream car is the RS7, curious as to which you would have chosen had you the opportunity like we have in North America to purchase the S7 with the 2.9 V6 petrol engine like your RS5. Would you still opt for the RS5 ?
What does "reduced display" mode look like on the virtual cockpit? How do you like the new screen placement and size, is it better because it's bigger, or does it not look as integrated?
Didn't get the chance to play with all modes but I overall like the new layout, feels more modern. I like the new size of the central display, way easier for touch control but it feels a bit weird talking about integration
Whew! I'm in talks now about a Prestige cabriolet... Fake exhaust would've been a turn off. God bless America lol found out my dog is banned in like 9 countries!
I think the very powerfull Diesel is a cool thing, the problem is rather, that the RS5 only comes with a tiny 2,9L Gasoline engine that is vastly inferior to BMWs in line 6 Zylinder which has alot more power. Generally speaking though, i like the split into high performance Diesel for the S, and highest performance Gas engingw.
not a fan of the facelift at all... no new features aside from the laser lights and a "new" MMI which honestly (feature-wise) looks like it only got a new layout... my thoughts: keep the touchscreen for passangers (since they always go to tap the screen in my car anyways) and bring back the scroll wheel for the driver; it's so much easier! Hopefully the diesel engine is worth it. Sorry Audi... at this rate, I will stick with my 2019 S5!
I presume the 700NM torque from that TDI engine compared with my 2019 S5 500 NMTSI engine makes very signficant difference in lane overtaking. Wondering how differently better. Shame! It could not be so in Hong Kong due to our local auto pollution regulation..
I look forward to replacing the exhaust system with an actual quality part, instead of that fake crap they're using. Should only take a few hours. Other than that, it is an awesome car!!
Kenn M I just got a rs5, 2019 sportback , I highly recommend getting a used one, I believe it’s the last year it has scroll wheel, and no fake exhaust, the cars amazing
Kenn M I got mine with only 15000km in which depreciated it 25k$ (cad), pretty much brand new but already took the initial hit of depreciation, just keep your eye out for the right opportunity and buy one used like that.
The only reason I will never buy it is because of the exhaust what a shame, I already have an A5 and wanted another one but this diesel has ruined the car.
Fake exhaust...imagine the winter ... steam ... smoke ... flies only from one side ... a shame to sit in such a car ... I liked Audi very much, but giving tdi to S ... and the fake exhaust is a nail in the coffin...
Then just buy the petrol. You'll also get real exhaust tips with the petrol model too. I don't know what you're complaining about. Some people want the diesel too because of economy and diesel is also cheaper. It gives a lot of options for people
I soooooo want to give this a thumbs down , not for you but because of the STUPID exhaust system!! 🤬 But I won't do that cause I am still a fan of you and also of Audi's lol
It's such a embarrassing thing to have, a fake exhaust! It's like them days when people used to attach fake chrome extension pipes on the end of they original pipes. 🤭 but at least they still had REAL PIPES LOL
Fake exhaust, a diesel and stupidly over done on the design 🤦♂️ The B8.5 V6 supercharger is never gonna be matched, that was perfection and class all in one.
Disgusting... Every vent on the outside is fake and why the heck is the left exhaust "real" and the right fake?! I have an exhaust or not. Theres no way to install fake coffee cup looking exhausts. And then this ridiculous sound... AUDI!! I know you can do it better, so why don't you just do it?!?! Alfa Giulia, I'm on my way...
i have to admit that the pre-facelift model looked much better
So 2017 was the last year for real exhaust, glad they are sub 20k now
On a TDI, because of its build, the fuel tank and the tank for AddBlue, there's no space for a double side exhaust. If you want real exhaust on both sides you need to configure a benzine.
Fake exhaust on an s5!?!? What are they thinking
WTF???
Glad I bought the last of the "proper" S5's! Diesel does not belong in an S car. The visual updates look good, though.
Absolutely agree with you
Well its actually a really good long range GT with the Diesel. Whole Day at over 200? No Problem. And at low fuel consumption.
This must be market specific. The US model has proper dual exhausts.
Khoa Phan Yep because you’re lucky to still get the 3 liters petrol engine while we get the turbo diesel one 😐
WIZE Does the S4 get the same treatment where you are? :(
Khoa Phan Unfortunately yes! Same for the SQ5, SQ7 and SQ8
So glad I bought the 2017 petrol model. 4 real exhaust pipes and ‘Pops and bangs’ before the EU emissions police killed off the fun and drama. Lucky escape. TBH I wouldn’t have bought the S5 in its current boring diesel guise.
Richard Brogan Reason why it wasn’t on my shopping list neither 😊
Better with two exhaust port on one side or one exhaust port on both side!
Viewers in the U.S. should relax. We don't get the TDI (diesel) engine. Therefore, no need to freak out about the fake exhaust.
Wow. Am I glad I bought the 2019 now!
upcollector You can be!
Great video! Silence speaks volumes. Good info. Like!
Bellissimo video complimenti per i dettagli che hai mostrato....
Ti ringrazio :-)
Fake on right and real on left? WTF!! Audi killing me. Pretty dumb I say.
Why does the S5 have fake exhausts??
It’s not like that on the US version. i had the 2020, and now i have the 2021 Version and all 4 exhaust are real for both years
Hmmm im looking to purchase s5 but i dont have a TDI option here in Canada or US is it only in EU? Not that I would by a disel engine
Totally recommend the TDI but sadly not an option in the US anymore!
Thanks for the review Wize, awesome job ! I know you’re dream car is the RS7, curious as to which you would have chosen had you the opportunity like we have in North America to purchase the S7 with the 2.9 V6 petrol engine like your RS5. Would you still opt for the RS5 ?
hvalgus1 Interesting question: probably the S7 as it has a more modern interior and can be easily tuned

Fake exhaust is very disappointing but overall audi remains the best 👍🏽💯
I love this car
Viitoarea mea mașină
Sound 🥵
An S5 with fake exhaust, Audi what have you done....
Beautil car, foarte tare masina. I love AUDI
If this had the three screen dash configuration of the 6 series I'd be in.
I just bought my 2020 S5 sportback - Prestige model. Not diesel and my exhaust is not fake. I guess the crappy models are only in the EU! LOL!!!
X marks the Spot Yep, only for us, poor Europeans 😊
Whew! I'm in talks now about a Prestige cabriolet... Fake exhaust would've been a turn off. God bless America lol found out my dog is banned in like 9 countries!
Congratz to your new car :)
Diesel is much better, America gets the crappy ones lol! Sadly can’t get the diesels here! God Bless on your new car though!
Well.... I guess it's time to see what Mercedes and BMW are up to.
Fake exhaust is the WRONG move Audi.. would rather not have it at all
Jeremy Man trust if I were to buy this car that would be the first thing I would remove
I think in here aus we have petrol version
Last gen started with a naturally aspirated V8, this gen has a turbo diesel… lol
Diesel is better, nothing to laugh at. Lol!

@@bmvlogs4740 for sure but there isn’t much that separates this from an S-Line TDI

Love the Car - Who decided on sticking a damn TABLET on top of the middle of the dash ???
When r u buying this car.
Why should I buy it? I've got an RS5... :-)

Too bad the Porsche side of the family was not able to stop Audi from having fake air vents and exhaust. Disappointing.
Next video Audi S5 convertible
Sheikh Faisal I would like to drive one
A touchscreen!?, wow what a terrible idea, the scroll wheel is way easier to use while driving
I agree....The new S5 was going to be my first Audi but Im having second thoughts about the fake exhaust and the taking out the scroll wheel.
Kenn M I just got a rs5, 2019 sportback , I highly recommend getting a used one, I believe it’s the last year it has scroll wheel, and no fake exhaust, the cars amazing
Kenn M save some cash buy a 2018 or 19
Yeah I think I am going to try and get and older model, but I like new..
Kenn M I got mine with only 15000km in which depreciated it 25k$ (cad), pretty much brand new but already took the initial hit of depreciation, just keep your eye out for the right opportunity and buy one used like that.
Fake exhaust - No No No 👎🏼
Hate to tell ya, but under hood vents are even fake on R8
Was excited then the right fake exhausts ruined it
What a flop!
GhostPrime21 exactly
Same here
Don't like the newer style chunks for drls, look cheap. Crisp lines look more stylish
Why didn't you show the back seat?🤦♂️🤦♂️😏
Abe Figueroa Well, there’s place for three... I’m more focused on the driver seat 😉
Tdi is diesel?
Turbo Diesel Injection
@@WiZe1972 *Turbo Diesel Intercooler (because previous generation of diesel in porsche/vw group was TD so diesel with turbo without intercooler)
It sounds like petrol engine, great.
Sounds like a computer game. The reason could be that it is the same source. ;-)
There are no “valves” on the exhaust! It’s done with a sound actuator, “speaker”in the exhaust.
You should amend your video🤦🏻♂️
4RRTA Thanks for pointing it out, got the habit to write valves opened/closed and temporarily forgot it was a diesel 😄
The only reason I will never buy it is because of the exhaust what a shame, I already have an A5 and wanted another one but this diesel has ruined the car.
I hate Fake vents/exhaust. Made me second guess my thoughts of purchase.
Such a shame for the sound! :/ Maybe it's also due to the fact that it's new and hasn't been run in yet.
PROvidsTV And also the 3k max rev limitation when stand still :-(
not a fan at all, I am so glad I got 2019 s5
No wireless CarPlay? Only touchscreen? Fake exhaust? Wtf

@@eugenslaughter4724 I just writes that I don't like fake exhaust, no matter if diesel or petrol...
@@eugenslaughter4724 or the fact that EU can only get the Diesel engine
@@marcinmotocykle9694 the petrol exhausts are real on both sides.
The fake exhaust is not good and I hate the touchscreen on the dash. It looks like they glued an iPad to the dashboard.
Es ist Autodiskriminierung wegen den Auspuff !!!!!
3.20 это пиз..)))
sounds bad in a diesel. common now. gimme that 3.0T
I soooooo want to give this a thumbs down , not for you but because of the STUPID exhaust system!! 🤬 But I won't do that cause I am still a fan of you and also of Audi's lol

Alfa Giulia, I'm on my way...
Diesel / TDI have two real exhaust tips on the left side and two fake on the right side.
